Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

Bai Chengxiang's eyes lit up upon hearing this:

"This is a great promotion. We've never done this before. It's actually about the same as a 20% discount."

Bai Zhenzhu reminded him:

"Remember to tell your second sister-in-law as well."

Bai Chengxiang grinned, showing off his white teeth:

“Pearl is so clever. This is like us earning money for the New Year in advance. Okay, after dinner, I'll call your second sister-in-law.”

There's a small shop with a public telephone in Huimin Community. If someone calls, they just have to call out.

Bai Zhenzhu then asked Liu Huiying:

Are you really not coming back with us?

Liu Huiying said with a smile:

"We're not going back. Jiajia and I will stay here and look after the house. We can keep the shop open for a few more days."

Bai Zhenzhu didn't try to persuade her.

Although Liu Huiying and Pei Yong are divorced, the Pei family is inherently bad.

Moreover, she remembered that Pei Yong and that widow never had any children.

In her past life, that widow must have tried every means to have a child with Pei Yong in order to keep him.

However, the widow did not give birth until after the millennium. Instead, Liu Huiying became pregnant once, but she lost the pregnancy.

Bae Yong and that widow must be married now.

Let Liu Huiying and Jiajia hide in Chengdu and make money to live a good life.

Doesn't Bae Yong want a son?

That widow has two sons, twins at that. Pei Yong will raise her sons for someone else for the rest of his life.

The clothing store has been doing exceptionally well these past few days.

The same is true in Yuan County; the store in Chaoyang Building also had over 10,000 yuan in sales for a few days.

The two stores in Huimin Market are slightly weaker.

The surrounding residential areas haven't been built yet, and the market doesn't see as many people as the old train station, but there are still several thousand people every day.

Bai Zhenzhu asked Accountant Lü to check the accounts on the 7th.

Business is better in Chengdu; the streets are crowded.

It snowed on the 4th, and it was especially cold, so there were fewer customers in the afternoon.

Once there were no more customers, Bai Zhenzhu had Liu Huiying lock the door and then took a few girls to eat hot pot.

Besides the meal, Bai Zhenzhu, as the boss, also gave everyone red envelopes.

One hundred yuan per person.

These three are core personnel who have been specially trained. Once the large store on Qingfeng Road opens, we will still need them to lead the team.

Luo Qiao and Zhou Lanlan were overjoyed.

Since they started selling clothes with Bai Zhenzhu, their income has become the highest in the family.

Although they haven't found formal employment, they earn much more than people working in government agencies.

Zhou Lanlan, in particular, has raised her standards for finding a partner.

It's been snowing continuously since the 5th, and it's getting even colder.

However, there are quite a few people buying clothes. With the Chinese New Year approaching, some people will be going back to their hometowns, and new clothes are a must.

Bai Zhenzhu was busy collecting money and didn't notice that there was another person at the door.

Because of the cold weather, Bai Zhenzhu was afraid that her father would get cold, so she didn't let him come over.

Liu Huiying was seeing a customer out when she saw Huo Zheng standing at the door.

"Mr. Huo, what brings you here?"

Huo Zheng glanced at the shop:

"I came to buy clothes, but there are a lot of people."

Liu Huiying quickly made a "please" gesture:

"Please come in, Mr. Huo. Our boss is here too."

Huo Zheng had no choice but to go into the store.

We just saw off a group of customers, so there aren't many people in the store right now.

"Boss, Mr. Huo is here."

Hearing the sound, Bai Zhenzhu, who was looking at the inventory, looked up.

A look of joy appeared on his face:

"Mr. Huo? You're here. Please come in and have a seat."

The other female customers were selecting and trying on clothes; no one was on the sofa.

Huo Zheng sat down on the sofa first.

Bai Zhenzhu personally poured him a glass of hot water, while Liu Huiying went to attend to other customers.

"Mr. Huo, please have some water."

Huo Zheng's voice was somewhat strained:

"Don't bother, I'll just grab a few clothes and leave. I heard you have men's clothing here?"

Bai Zhenzhu hurriedly said:

"Have."

Huo Zheng, however, still took the boiled water and slowly drank it.

I've come all this way, there's no way I'd come just to buy a few clothes.

The boiling water was a bit too hot.

Huo Zheng smiled and said:

"I promised Junzhuo I'd take him to see Shuoshuo when I had some free time, but I don't know when you're going back to Yuan County."

Bai Zhenzhu didn't think much of it:

"I made an appointment with my second brother to go back to Yuan County on the 7th, and I need to go back to my hometown on the 8th. I can't be late any longer."

Huo Zheng nodded:

"We were in a bit of a rush, so we drove a little slower on the road."

Bai Zhenzhu smiled:

“My two older brothers can both drive; they already have their driver’s licenses.”

Huo Zheng was relieved:

"The road is difficult to travel, so it will be easier for you if your older brothers take turns driving."

White Pearl: "Yes."

Huo Zheng: "We probably won't be able to visit Shuo Shuo before the New Year. When are you coming back after the New Year?"

Bai Zhenzhu thought for a moment and said, "I should be back relatively early. I plan to go back to Yuan County on the seventh day of the new year to settle things there, and then come back around the ninth day. I feel more at ease with Huiying here."

Huo Zheng then seized the opportunity to say:

"Give her my phone number so she can contact me if she needs anything."

White Pearl was extremely grateful:

“Okay, I don’t have time before the New Year. I was thinking of taking Shuo Shuo to visit the compound after the New Year.”

We'll definitely have to go to the Ge family's place, and if we go to the Ge family, we'll also have to visit the Huo family.

Huo Zheng's eyes darkened:

"Okay, I... Mom and the others should be home at that time."

Another group of customers left.

Huo Zheng had no choice but to stand up:

"Xiaobai, I'm buying coats for my parents. Do you have any that would fit them?"

Bai Zhenzhu hurriedly said:

"Yes, Aunt Qi has a great temperament and a good figure. There's a reddish-brown coat in the store that I think would suit her very well."

The quick-witted Zhou Lanlan immediately took the coat that Bai Zhenzhu had mentioned.

Reddish-brown, understated yet not dull, it is indeed very suitable for older women.

Bai Zhenzhu then casually picked up a pair of black trousers:

"If I put this on Aunt Qi, she'll definitely look good and younger."

Huo Zheng had no idea how to coordinate outfits.

He only saw Bai Zhenzhu hold the dress up in front of herself and think it looked really good.

Huo Zheng nodded:

"Let's take this one. Is it the right size? I don't know what size she wears. Maybe I'll ask her."

Bai Zhenzhu hurriedly said:

"This set I picked should fit, since Aunt Qi is quite thin."

Huo Zheng: "Okay, this set is fine, and I also need the ones for myself and my dad."

Bai Zhenzhu then went to get a dark gray wool coat:

"Uncle Huo, wear this. You and Aunt Qi can wear it together for the New Year. It will look good to see you standing together."

Huo Zheng nodded again: "Okay, and so will mine."

Bai Zhenzhu chose two pieces for him: a long, light gray one and a short, brown one.

"Mr. Huo, both of these are very suitable for you. Why don't you try them on first?"

Huo Zheng nodded and took off his down jacket.

Bai Zhenzhu didn't help; she simply handed him the clothes he wanted to try on.

Upon trying them on, both items fit perfectly.

“Both are very nice,” Bai Zhenzhu said sincerely. “The gray one is suitable for important occasions, and the brown one is a bit more casual. They both suit you well, Mr. Huo. Just take them both.”

Huo Zheng was wearing a brown overcoat, which made him look warmer and less cold and hard than usual.
